Edeslash Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Oh come on, be nice. Please don't troll. Some people just really don't want to know details. I would say just stay off the internet, but I'm sure that's not possible. I don't actually mind reading about the songs. I've already seen a dozen magazine previews.

MandaF Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 I don't actually mind reading about the songs. I've already seen a dozen magazine previews. Me neither. I have heard loads about the songs and am really excited that the reviews have been amazing - particularly from the fans on here. Its going to be so cool listening to them in a week's time!

MandaF Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 What is happening tomorrow? There is talk of live streaming or something? What does that mean? That might test my resolve, a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter. Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 What is happening tomorrow? There is talk of live streaming or something? What does that mean? That might test my resolve, a lot! a stream of the album seems to be confirmed for tomorrow. Zane Lowe will play it at 7pm, UK time. i don't know wether it's the whole album or just some songs, but i think it's worth listening as they will be (more or less) lossless quality studio versions. and after it's played on the radio, well...it'll be all over the internet. (not to mention it's probably going to be streamed here on mu, as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not to mention it's probably going to be streamed here on mu, as well) Well, if anything is going to make me give in this will. If they are streaming the album tracks (studio versions) I will quit The Resistance EDIT: No, I am still going to wait. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I keep hearing that term, what does it mean? There is no quality loss, it's the best kind of quality you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gohenko Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I keep hearing that term, what does it mean? It basically just means that the audio is lossless, and you can just think lossless audio as a best possible audio quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think I am being daft waiting for the album before I listen? My 16 yr old son wants to wait too, but I feel like we are swimming against the tide now!

FabriPav Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I keep hearing that term, what does it mean? Just means that the files in lossless quality/format are uncompressed. You'll find that .FLAC and .wav files are way bigger than .mp3 files. That's because .mp3 are compressed in order to be smaller, therefore there's a bit of quality loss.

If you want to wait until the album is officially released, go ahead. Don't let others force you into anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, I'm doing the same. It'd just feel more special to have the boxset and physical album when I listen to it for the first time. Plus, if I wait, I can create an atmosphere for myself and experience the whole thing in the way I find most enjoyable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Huh? I am so lost there!! Basically, the more compressed something's sound is, the more detail (or dynamics) is lost. So if something's as uncompressed as it can be, you're hearing everything as clearly as possible. Does that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louhi Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I'll join the resistance. During the album The Resistance I listened to the new songs that were played in Teignmouth on YouTube and afterwards I felt sorry because it ruined listening to TR for the first time a bit. This is really hard though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Cool. So you haven't listened to the songs yet either? It's really hard for me as I can't read any of the main threads! I've listened to the live versions of Follow Me and Animals in full once, about half of Panic Station, a tiny bit of Supremacy and about one line of Save Me. I'm not listening to Isolated System or any of the studio songs tomorrow though. I don't mind going into the main threads because the descriptions of it don't really spoil much for me, it's just like reading the old magazine descriptions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandaF Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 I don't know how to explain it clearer I can multiquote now, I just keep checking in and finding answers that I want to respond to!

Louhi Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I SOOOOO is!!! One week to go - it will fly by *sigh*. It's good to have a support group I have heard Madness, Unsustainable and Survival of course, but that's it, nothing else before the album comes out.
